Love Police proudly present MOUNTAIN GRASS UNIT — the young bluegrass trailblazers from Birmingham, Alabama — for their first-ever Australian tour this March.
Formed by four friends with a shared obsession for pushing boundaries, Mountain Grass Unit - made up of Drury Anderson (mandolin, vocals), Luke Black (guitar, vocals), Josiah Nelson (fiddle, vocals), and Sam Wilson (bass, vocals) have quickly become one of the most exciting new names in American roots music. Their sound draws from bluegrass tradition but fearlessly bends it — weaving in country, jazz, funk, rock and even metal — to create something uniquely their own.
Their latest EP Runnin’ From Trouble (2024), produced by Mike Harris (Old Crow Medicine Show) at Nashville’s Hartland Studios, introduced their radiant energy and fearless musicianship. From the introspective sway of Hey Mama to the wild instrumental drive of Cicada Song and Smugglin’, it’s a glimpse into a band reimagining what modern bluegrass can be.
After a breakout year performing at major festivals across the US, Mountain Grass Unit now bring their luminous, high-octane sound to Australian stages and festivals for the very first time. Expect jaw-dropping musicianship, lightning-fast picking, and a whole lotta twang.
